Understanding 30-Day Mortality After First STEMI Through DAGs: Unravelling Epidemiological Cause-Effect Links
Our DAG reveals causal relationships and identifies confounding variables affecting mortality after STEMI. Sex is identified as a significant factor influencing mortality both directly and indirectly. This influence occurs through its effects on age, alcohol consumption, stress, hypertension, and socioeconomic status. Additionally, sex is recognized as a confounding factor whose impact on mortality is modified by other factors.
